Candidates: read carefully and complete all information requested below.
1.
A candidate has the right to appeal a decision by the Department Dispositions Committee that the candidate be denied
advancement in his/her program of study. This Candidate Disposition Appeals Form must be received in the Office of the Senior
Associate Dean of the College of Education either as an electronic file attachment via email or as a mailed hard copy within ten
(10) business days of the date of the letter sent from the chair of the candidate's academic department notifying the candidate
of the department review decision. Complete all requested information on this form. Incomplete forms may result in denial of
appeal.
2.
Upon receipt of the completed Candidate Disposition Appeals Form to appeal the decision, the Senior Associate Dean or his/her
designee shall convene the College Dispositions Appeals Board within 15 (fifteen) business days. This group is comprised of
faculty from each academic department in the College of Education, the director of the Office of Teacher Education Advising,
Licensure, and Recruiting (TEALR), and the director of the Office of Field Experiences. You will be notified as to the time and
place of the hearing. You will be provided an opportunity to speak on your own behalf. The Appeal Board may interview any
stakeholders including, but not limited to faculty and staff members who have previously assessed your dispositions or provided
documentation of your dispositions in the past. Your absence from this meeting will be taken as acknowledgement that you do
not wish to speak on your own behalf.
The College Dispositions Coordinator serves as an ex officio member of the board. Any questions you have about this process
should be directed to the College Dispositions Coordinator.
As of June 11, 2014, the College Dispositions Coordinator is Dr. Laura Hart. She may be reached by email at laura.hart@uncc.edu
or by phone at 704-687-8189.

After reviewing all documentation, and interviewing the candidate (if the candidate so chooses) and any other stakeholders, the
College Dispositions Appeal Board will submit a recommendation to the Senior Associate Dean of the College of Education
regarding the candidate’s enrollment status. The board may decide either to uphold the decision of the Department
Dispositions Committee to deny the candidate advancement in the program or to allow the candidate to advance in the
program, with or without conditions.
If the Senior Associate Dean upholds the decision of the Board, such decision shall be final. If the Senior Associate Dean
reverses the decision, the Board will formulate an appropriate course of action in consultation with the department chair and
the department dispositions committee chair. All documentation related to the appeal will be forwarded to College
Dispositions Coordinator for inclusion in the confidential electronic record. See the Professional Education Dispositions Plan for
more information.
